Giant papillary conjunctivitis (GPC) is when the inside of your eyelid gets red, swollen, and irritated. This is usually caused by contact lenses.

Treatment may include avoiding wearing contact lenses, trying a new type of lens, or limiting how much time you wear contacts each day. You may also be prescribed eyedrop medicine or ointment to relieve swelling and itching from GPC.

If you have any questions about your eyes or your vision, speak with your ophthalmologist. He or she is committed to protecting your sight.
